Dubai Mainland remains the most versatile option for entrepreneurs who want complete access to the UAE market. Unlike free zones, mainland companies are licensed by the Department of Economic Development (DED) and can operate freely both locally and internationally. This makes them the preferred choice for businesses looking to serve UAE residents, participate in government contracts, or open offices across the country.
Mainland licenses are particularly attractive for retail, hospitality, trading, real estate, healthcare, and professional services companies. With the ability to expand without restrictions and bid for lucrative government tenders, Dubai Mainland provides credibility and growth opportunities unmatched by other setups.
At Emifast, we handle the entire licensing and compliance process with the DED, helping you secure your license quickly, obtain visas for staff, and open corporate bank accounts.
